INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL FIELD DAY: “JUST LIKE A PARTY!”

They waited all year for it, and they got a picture-perfect day with clear skies and temperatures just breaking 80.

Sporting field day T-shirts, they came sun-screened and lugging their giant water bottles, ready to endure.

There was music and dancing in the basketball court, sports for all preferences across the fields, and hopper balls. But as the lines attested, the Italian Ices truck, with pour-your-own flavors, was hands-down “the best thing.”

A group of third graders was asked, “How long were you waiting for Field Day?” “Since I came to this school,” Joli said. “Ever since I was born!” Richard shouted. “A thousand years!” Lino shouted louder. Always competitive.

Mia was happy for the chance to “just hang out with friends,” Summer loved the singing and dancing, and Tyler said it best: “It’s just like a party!”

SPECIAL THANKS to Ms. Uhelsky, PE teacher, and all volunteers who made this a memorable day for our students.
